Hello List,

This is driving me bats so I'm hoping the experts can explain.  The ispf 
interface for the FileAid/MVS product allocates a temporary work dsn during 
certain operations like EDIT, and SELECT, and sends the msg below to the 
terminal user.  We are aware that the sms dataclass assigned has a volume count 
larger than the SG pool, so this msg is valid: 

IGD17271I ALLOCATION HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO PROCEED FOR DATA SET
DATLJM4.FILEAID.WF.D13045.T091830                            
ALTHOUGH VOLUME COUNT REQUIREMENTS COULD NOT BE MET          
*** 

However, it is a nuisance because the dsn is deleted when you exit EDIT, so if 
you reenter EDIT, whammo, you get the msg again.  We are going to change the 
dataclass volume count, so that is not my question.

My question is, if I go to ispf 3.2 and allocate a dsn manually with the same 
characteristics, it gets assigned the same dataclass, & stgclass, but... I 
don't get the IGD17271I msg.  Why not?  Also, if I use the 'SAVE dnsq2' command 
from option 3.4, it allocates a file with (again) the same dataclass & 
stgclass, but again. I get not IGD17271I msg. 

Can anyone explain why?  Does ispf suppress informational msgs, while the 
FileAid application does not?
(I know... next step.... call the vendor) but thx for any input,

-Jim
